Review summary

We will NEVER book another Carnival cruise and would like to get our money back. We wouldn't go even if you paid us.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Unorganized, unhelpful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food at the buffet and dining room was sub-par quality and unimaginative. Steakhouse was better food but was at best average. Drink packages were too expensive.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Boring! Unless you stay up until 10:00 pm to start your entertainment for the evening, you are stuck going to a smoky casino or watching movies outside in the wind.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Never saw a stage show due to the time they started. Saw to Punchliner shows which were okay. Emma our cruise director was more into the music than we were.

Children's Programs

We dont have young children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Tris, was wonderful. Our waiter, Bojan, and his team, were fablous! Others were not even worth mentioning! 5 stars applies to the two people I mentioned only!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Dusty, smoky and sticky. Our bed and room was clean but thing else.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Just dust in the ac vent ...everything else was fine.

Ship tip

Book another cruise line. Bad experience for us.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We live an hour away.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
The hop on hop off trolley was okay, although very unorganized and long lines.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

1 out of 5
Would not recommend you stop here. Nothing to see.

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
No, we didnt get off the boat. We were disappointed with the excursions offered.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Hurry up and wait. Then customs lines took 2 hours to go though with no sitting available. My 84 year old parent would have had a rough time standing the whole time.

Carnival has no control over Customs. It's the same on an overseas flight. I've never had bad food with Carnival. There's plenty to do on any ship. From water works, gym, games, pools/hot tubs. Go to guest services and get a free deck of cards if you don't want to shop not to mention just plain ol quite time. But it's not boring by any means.

You must lead a dull life.

You know they have a guarantee - if you are not satisfied, you are free to get off within 24 hours

Seems like based on your comments and lack of enjoyment, cruising may not be for you. It’s not for everyone, but many love it.

Why? We have always had wonderfully times. When posting comments like this you need to be more specific because if I was a first time user I would think this is a fake review. There needs to be more content.
